A muddy good day out to help charities
Braveheart adventurers across Scotland are being asked to do battle with a challenging wilderness assault course to help two of the country’s leading life-saving charities.
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) and the Sandpiper Trust will benefit from funds raised at this year’s fun-filled Lanrick Challenge - the ultimate test in strength, endurance and determination.
Held at the Lanrick Estate near Doune on Saturday, August 5, the 48-obstacle challenge is suitable for all fitness levels. So walk it, jog it or sprint it - you’ll be helping to sustain two key charities that benefit everyone in Scotland.
The punishing array of obstacles - on either a 12k or 6k route - includes mud ponds, log piles, cargo nets, river crossings, tree climbs, monkey bars and a 30-metre water slide.
Youngsters (aged five12) can get down and dirty as well by taking part in the Mini Mud Run.
Event organiser Penny Dickson said: “Set up in 2014 by the founders of the Sandpiper Trust, the Lanrick Challenge is proud to support both the Sandpiper Trust and Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance in 2017.”
“Championing these two charities means connecting with local Scottish communities and being part of an on-going commitment to saving lives and delivering emergency medical care by air and over land in Scotland.
“The Challenge is great fun - it pushes people but is very doable and there’s a great sense of achievement at the end. You get dirty, exhausted and sore - but everyone feels great having helped support charities that do so much for the people of Scotland.”
